    I am working on a document that includes the term PSM2 throughout the document. It should be PSM, followed by a superscripted 2 (read-PSM Squared).

    I created a superscript character style, and tried creating a GREP style, using the code [PSM](2), but it doesn’t quite work. Now throughout the document I have PS, followed by superscripted M2. I am sure this is a simple solution, but GREP is not my strong suit, so can anyone help?

    In your Paragraph Style add a GREP Style to make the 2 superscript using a Positive Lookbehind to apply a Character Style which will be Superscript, then when every you type this PSM the following 2 will automatically be turned to superscript.

    (?<=PSM)2

    Graham, I hope you know that “(?<= …)” and “\K” (since CS6) are the same thing, except that \K is more powerful because it allows variable items in the look behind! ;-)
